Ronaldinho was greeted by over 20,000 people in Rio de Janiero as he completed a move to Flamengo.
The former Ballon d'Or winner has signed a four-year deal with the Brazilian club after a disappointing spell with AC Milan.
After the welcome, which was comparable to Zico's return from Italy in 1985, Ronaldinho vowed to win his place back in the Brazilian squad after being overlooked for the 2010 World Cup.
He said: "I want to take the name of Flamengo as high as possible, winning as many titles as possible and repaying the love of the fans, I want to give them happiness.
"I didn't expect such a big party. I'm proud to have got such a reception and to be compared with Zico."
